RH Line calls printed November 3

"Congratulations to Stan Scheer and his thinking out of the box. He just created a $180,000 credit on his salary. My what a refreshing experience for taxpayers. Thank you , Stan Scheer."

"I see that our new school superintendent eliminated some administrative positions that he didn't need. I think it's great that the school board went out of their way to find and hire him even though it was not a normal process. We owe them our thanks for making that decision."

Final Ad Barrage

"The CEO of Chrysler has repeatedly stated that they are not sending jobs to China, yet I keep getting calls from somebody advocating for Mitt Romney saying just that. When will the lying stop?"

Humane Society Funding

"The recently publicized case on Channel 4 said it took Larimer Humane Society six weeks to investigate a case of cruelty in Fort Collins. I turned in a dog last week that they couldn't or wouldn't come pick up. My question is do we really want to cut funding to them? Please buy a license for your dog or cat."

Job Creation?

"I was just wondering somebody if could answer a question: If we could write Sandy in, as a write-in for the president of the United States? Because as we all know, Sandy hit our East Coast and in 72 hours, created more jobs than Obama has been able to create in four years."

Local Craft Fair

"I'm wondering if someone can tell me when the really great craft fair that is held or has been held in the past at the Walt Clark Middle School is going to be held? If it's not there, is it going to be someplace else this year? I missed it last year, and I just love it, and I want to go. If you could respond in the RH line, I'd really appreciate it."

Luring Visitors"I'm calling about the ad I saw in the newspaper. The city is looking for a visitor center manager, and they want to pay him $41,600 a year with benefits. I volunteered at the visitor's center, and we would only have like 8-10 visitors a day -- if that. And there's nothing to see in Loveland except Benson Park, or they can go downtown and see all the empty buildings. You can tell them what a lovely place Loveland is to live 'cause it's so beautiful here. And they also have that visitor's center up at Fort Collins where most people coming down I-25 would stop."

Local Gas Prices

"My comment is about the gas prices staying level. They were supposed to go down 20-25 cents per gallon is what it stated on the national news. Why is Loveland, Larimer County and Fort Collins so high? There's no reason gas should be above $3 dollars a gallon. There's no conflict, no war going on, so please answer that question."

Public Assets

"We went for a drive yesterday. This is some of what we noticed on our drive. The county road was smooth, perfectly maintained by tax money. There were many homes in the Rist Canyon areas surrounded by burned trees. The volunteer and tax-money-paid professional firefighters did their best to protect private property. The food and drinking water at the restaurant were safe to eat and drink, the restrooms clean thanks to tax-funded inspectors. Driving by a public elementary school, we saw the children safely playing outside. Tax money well spent."
